Digimon World (デジモンワールド Dejimon Wārudo?) is a role-playing, adventure, and digital pet video game developed by Bandai released at January 28, 1999 in Japan, North America at May 23, 2000, and PAL at July 6, 2001 for the PlayStation. It is the first game in the Digimon World series. The storyline focuses on a human brought to File City on File Island by Jijimon to save the island. Digimon have been losing their memories and becoming feral and the city has fallen into disarray. The goal of Mameo is to save the island by helping Digimon recover their memory and return to the city.
As it came before the anime in Japan, it is very strictly based on the Virtual Pets. The game play revolves around raising a single Digimon from its Digitama form, hatching into a Fresh, up through In-Training, Rookie, Champion, and with work, Ultimate. A Digimon partner will die with age, and return to an egg eventually, so the player has to raise it again.
Fans of the anime will be familiar with the sixth stage, Mega; however this game was made only shortly after the Pendulum series of pets, which introduced Mega level.
To raise a Digimon partner, the player must train it, feed it, let it rest, and take it to the bathroom.
The other main aspect of gameplay is battle. The player’s partner Digimon fight the Digimon that have become aggressive due to a crisis on File Island. Partner Digimon begin the game with a few basic skills but acquire more as they progress in levels through the game.
The PAL region’s variant cover art features the seven initial Partner Digimon from Digimon Adventure. The group includes Tentomon which isn’t obtainable but does however appear in Beetle Land and Gomamon, who is otherwise completely absent from this game
Gameplay
Digimon World’s game play utilizes two major aspects: Raising and battling. The element of monster raising consists of feeding your Digimon, allowing it to rest, and leading it to the bathroom. As a Digimon grows and trains, it can digivolve into a stronger form; there are 5 stages of digivolution in total including the desirable Ultimate form. Raising a Digimon carefully and properly helps progress through the game, and improper treatment can lead to dire consequences. The second element of the game, battling, composes the other major aspect of the game. Digimon World’s battle system heavily relies on options that a player can command, such as “Your Call” and “Retreat”.[3] As a player ventures in the wild, Digimon may engage in battle when touching each others paths. Battles are usually inevitable while adventuring, and they are a reliable source of techniques that a Digimon can learn and money. Training a partner Digimon enhances its parameters, enabling it to fight with better ease and digivolve to powerful forms. Digimon World also provides various mini-games for the player, including fishing, arena tournaments, and curling. Sub-quests are also available, mainly for new recruiting Digimon and other hidden surprises.

The worst thing about the hawk tuah girl is that her name is spelled Haliey

Undoubtedly the worst spelling of that name I have ever seen
Unlimited death upon the zionist entity btw
It’s just a precision strike that took out a whole neighbourhood.
International law making it illegal for insurgencies to not have their operations bases be giant buildings in the middle of nowhere with a giant bullseye that says “YOUR BOMBS HERE” but not illegal to kill thousands of civilians where targeting those places is so goofy. So clearly written around letting America do whatever it wanted in Vietnam, and France in Algeria.
Hmm should I play the PS1 era digimon world games
Digimon World is fun vibes when things are actually going, but a huge part of the game is training your digimon, which involves sitting and just watching them do repetitive stuff for long periods of time (getting punched by a gigantic boxing glove to level defense, sitting under a waterfall to level focus or whatever the stats were, etc).
You might be doing that for a very long while, only for your digimon to evolve into a literal giant turd.
If you get a good champion evolution you can start breaking out into the broader world, which is actually pretty fun. The game has great vibes, and a fun gameplay loop of journeying out of the main village to find lost villagers and send them back, which in turn upgrades the village (residents return and open up shops or provide special services).
But it always suffers from having to go back to that damn training grounds for long stretches. Maybe if there’s a modded PC version that solves that problem, that would be best.

I remember that lol
a total skill issue.
You know the turd digivolution thing has incredibly survived into the modern digimon games. I feel every few years I’ll pick up a digimon game and go “why do i always give up on these” then discover you need both good planning and the RNG gods to get decent evolution paths.
This bag of cat treats has a doot shrimp on it

Were yall just not gonna tell me there was a dracula flow 5
idk dating posting, idk what to even call it
haha maybe i am not ready to be friends with my ex situationship i saw them on feeld and it gave me some baaaaaaaaaaaad feelings in my heart and soul
maybe i’ll get over it by the time it’s time to see them this week. if we’re friends obviously we’d want to be able to talk about each other’s love lives but i feel like that’s something that’s maybe wiser to work up to than to dive into right away and i was not at all ready for the “stumble upon them on the sex app” introduction to all that. feeld is so fucking stupid in terms of its privacy features also, idk if you can block people at all and you definitely can’t do the tinder and hinge thing where you block your phone contactsMy core memory of Digimon World is being excited when my digimon evolves, just for it to turn into the shit-eating slug (numemon I think?), or the giant yellow shit-monster that also eats shit.
I’m going to take a break from drinking until November.
Just had a rough one.
@GalaxyBrain In reply to your reply to my post last megatgread
Think the landlord was just exaggerating for the story. He also went on to say how scary it feels to be watched and stolen from. Heard him as I left say how he is considering getting a new Rolex because the “cheap” (1k watches he was mentioning) are “too cheap feeling for me.”
(Insert always sunny 2 guys fake crying image)
in addition to all the horrific shit happening wrt geopolitics and the various wars and hexbear doomers insisting that resistance is futile, i also somehow managed to piss off my roommate because i took their noodles out of an inactive microwave to microwave my own stuff. they say their noodles need to ‘cook’ after the microwave is off, but obviously the water will still be hot outside of the microwave, it doesnt stay hot after it turns off, definitely not hot enough to cook noodles. i just put them next to the microwave, but they scold me first thing when i wake up anyway. they even performatively put their noodles in for an entire second microwaving, like their noodles were already microwaved fully and were just cooling off, i did not interrupt that for enough time to warrant a second microwaving. of course if i were to point any of this out it would only cause strife drama and misunderstanding so im venting to internet strangers and feds on hexbear. i already woke up to horrific news from lebanon, already feeling suicidally depressed and wondering if fascism has simply won the physical plane of existence, already suffering the psychic damage from that idiot doomer in the news mega insisting that iran must cause nuclear armageddon or else they are cringe or something and the resistance has already lost and every single hezbollah commander is dead because the zionazis say so, and then this silly noodle shit happens. i hate existing. i cannot process these two kinds of existential horror, of fascisms seeming/alleged/apparent dominance of material reality and of my personal inability to coexist socially in a non-alienated/alienating way with the people around me, at the same time. i can’t really even process them individually, all there is left to do is bear the suffering eternally.
We can suffer together
another happy day in hell 🫠
Jumping curbs can be tricky eh
Is there any reason I shouldn’t start just actively identifying as pro-soros when dealing with more conspiritorially minded right wingers? I don’t really give a shit about anything but pissing them off as hard as humanly possible at every single opportunity.
